Today I learned it's illegal to crate your dog in Finland

For the Finnish dog parents who can’t bring their pooches to work, their pups get to spread out and relax at home … literally. It is illegal to keep dogs in crates overnight or during work days in Finland.

“Finnish law states than an animal can be in a crate only for ‘transportation, illness or other temporary and acceptable reason,’”according to The Guardian. The article also states that the “premises must have sufficient space and lighting and it must be protective, clean and safe as well as appropriate in other respects taking account of the needs of each animal species.”


Considering dogs naturally have an instinct to den, this seems like some backwards commie shite to me

How do you even enforce that? Regardless, dogs sleep a frick TON. Crating them with some blankets is perfectly fine.

Sticking a dog in a crate is cruel.

Clearly you don’t know jack about dogs. A crate can provide comfort and a sense of security for dogs. Especially when the owner is not around.

Because that’s the conditions they’re facing in Finland, or any other western nation.

I have a Great Dane whose crate is like a quarter the size of our master bedroom and she likes to sleep in it

Luckily my fiancée is a veterinarian so she can take the dog to work with her

I wonder if dog walkers/sitters make a good living in Finland?

I guess if you adopt the stance that euthanasia is preferred to a dog spending some time in a crate, because there would definitely be less adoptions if people feared their furniture would be torn to shite when they get home from work.

Then leave the door to their crate open and let them go in on their own.

I don't think there is anything wrong with crating when you leave for a little while, but leaving your house for 8 hours a day and sticking your dog in a crate? Yeah, that's not a good move, bud.

I have extended family that had 5 dogs, all stuck in 3 crates, at all hours of the day and night unless they were letting them out the back for 15 minutes. That's not right.
